We're really digging Witch's Paralyzed, out 3/18 on Tee Pee.

In what's surely the summer of Jack Johnson's life, another new festival's been announced and, yes, the peaceful surfing Curious George scribe's at the top of the schedule. Who knew so many people were on Jack's johnson? For Western commenters jealous over Radiohead's spot at Jersey's APW, you'll get another look at Thom & Co., too. (That makes like six.) It'll take place August 22-24 in Golden Gate Park. More details to come.

As revealed yesterday, the inaugural APW Festival -- AKA Jersey Coachella -- will indeed feature two nights of Radiohead. And one of Jack Johnson, which we predicted.

That according to URB, and why would URB lie to you? The inaugural APW Music & Arts Fest (brought to you by AEG Live and Goldenvoice) takes place 8/8-8/10 at Liberty State Park. That's where we saw Radiohead in August 2001 ... though this time instead of Beta Band as openers, we'll probably get Jack Johnson. All signs point to APW fitting nicely into that second leg of Thom & Co's North American tour. Get psyched, Jersey City.

Now that we've spent most of our V-Day pausing and playing our way through Thom's interview/DJ set at NPR's All Songs Considered, we are, officially, in the mood. And also we are of a mind that you, too, should indulge in this pastime. Mostly because it's just another in this recent string of instances by which Thom not only increasingly appears to be human -- but the most awesome human. He again rhapsodizes about his love for Liars Drum's Not Dead (yay for officially having at least one thing in common with the guy), plays "Kill Bill Vol. 4." from Modeselektor's Hello Mom ("because it is the most full-on club track, complete with the guys talking in the toilet beforehand"), is asked if he still goes clubbing ("It's all over"), and identifies his favorite lyricist (Madvillian i.e. MF Doom, who is "just on the edge of the freestyling thing all the time ... it's like Bob Dylan but without any folk ... it's like the last 50 years never happened ... it takes a lot of courage to knock out these rhymes the way he does").
